Success Photos/hunting photos

[Recurve-Elk]

Lets post up this years harvest!!  Did you get an animal?  Have a cool picture from elk season, post it!   I finally bagged my first elk.  Shot her at 5 yards, being so close and my first elk I thought it was a mature cow.  Turned out it was a youngin but I am still happy.  It will be good eating, the heart was fantastic.  She probably weighed around 200-220 on the hoof.  Double lung shot piled up 15 yards from where she was hit.  Didn't have the camera in the woods so this was the best I could do for pictures...  Wish I had that stinkin camera with me.

Lets see some photos!

Little guy took off with an apple core.  It looked like a cross bred chipmonk-squirrel


Stripes like a chipmonk, sized like a squirrel. 


Heres a photo of a weird looking bug, any ideas as to what this is?  My new cameras zoom apparently works pretty well!

We had a good year. Ended up with 6 Elk in camp. These 3 and another huge spike and two cows.

Isn't it a strange bug.  I have no clue what it is.

First off congratulations on your success. But, I think he was talking about that weird picture of the cow head hanging on the tree. I agree. Every time someone posts a pic on here, people compliment them on it, wether its good or not. I really don't think you'll get many compliments on that one. I do like the picture of the bug though.

I don't really see the difference of taking a picture of an elk head on the ground, vs. in a tree, on a rock, in a truck bed etc.  Its an elk head either way you look at it.  However I can see how anti hunters could look at a picture of just a head and not be too impressed.  Ill pull the pic, and replace it with some others.

Hey congrats on those bulls guys!  Those are some nice looking elk there!

Opening day cow elk.  28yrds, double lung.  She went about 60 to 70 yrds and then crashed downhill and rolled up against the big log.  Hill is steeper than it looks in photo.

Screw that and screw the anti's, you empower them (Anti's) by catering to them. They are constantly ramming their crap down our throats but want us and our sport abolished or to lurk in the shadows and go unseen. When I start a Anti Soybean movement and the Anti's cater to me, then there may be a little negotiation. The thought of one of those little anti wusses staring in shock at a picture of a elk head on the internet after just eating a burger for lunch when they don't even come close to having the intestinal fortitude to walk out in a field a whack the same beef their burger came from really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I totally agree and that's why I was confused as to why people cared that I had a picture of the elk head.

Maybe my post came off wrong. I was just saying that the picture was kind of weird. Nothing to do with ethics or how we as hunters come across to antis. A closeup of a cow elk head, stuck on a limb on a tree. I wasn't offended as a hunter, just as a (amateur)photographer! Here are a couple of suggestions for next time. Have it poking out of the top of a mummy bag. Stick it between two hamburger buns. Get creative! I certainly didn't mean to imply that you remove the picture.

[mtbiker]

Oh, I didn't think it needed be be removed and I could care less what any anti would think.  I was just sayin' that it was kind of a, "in your face" pic.  Kinda like someone said, "hey, here's my elk!" as they stick the head right in front of your face.  Kinda like a close talker.
